FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J., May 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE: BDX), a leading global medical technology company, today reported quarterly revenues of $4.222 billion for the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2018.  This represents an increase of 42.2 percent from the prior-year period, which is primarily due to the acquisition of C. R. Bard.  On a comparable, currency-neutral basis that includes the revenues of C.R. Bard in the current and prior year, revenues increased 5.7 percent over the prior-year period, including an estimated 80 basis point adverse impact from the previously disclosed change in the U.S. dispensing business model.

"Our results this quarter mark a significant milestone in our 120-year history, as we welcomed C. R. Bard to BD," said Vincent A. Forlenza, Chairman and CEO.  "We have strong momentum as we execute on the integration of Bard, and we are on track to deliver on all of our commitments.  Together, BD and Bard will create even more impactful healthcare solutions for our customers and their patients around the world."

Second Quarter and Six-Month Fiscal 2018 Operating Results
As reported, diluted earnings per share for the second quarter were $(0.19), compared with $1.58 in the prior-year period.  This represents a decrease of 112.0 percent and is primarily due to purchase accounting expenses related to acquisitions.  Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $2.65, compared with $2.30 in the prior-year period.  This represents an increase in adjusted diluted earnings per share of 15.2 percent, or 7.8 percent on a currency-neutral basis.

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2018, as reported, diluted earnings per share were $(0.90), compared with $4.15 in the prior-year period.  This represents a decrease of 121.7 percent and is primarily due to purchase accounting expenses, acquisition-related costs, and additional tax expense relating to new U.S. tax legislation, as well as a litigation reserve reversal in the prior-year period following a favorable appellate antitrust ruling.  Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $5.15, compared with $4.63 in the prior-year period.  This represents an increase in adjusted diluted earnings per share of 11.2 percent, or 6.0 percent on a currency-neutral basis.

Segment Results
In the BD Medical segment, as reported, worldwide revenues for the quarter of $2.172 billion increased 19.7 percent from the prior-year period.  On a comparable, currency-neutral basis, BD Medical revenues increased 4.2 percent over the prior-year period, including an estimated 160 basis point impact from the change in the U.S. dispensing business model.  The segment's results were driven by performance in the Medication Delivery Solutions, Diabetes Care and Pharmaceutical Systems units.  Performance in the Medication Management Solutions unit reflects the adverse impact of the change in the U.S. dispensing business model.

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2018, BD Medical revenues were $4.024 billion as reported, an increase of 11.6 percent from the prior-year period.  On a comparable, currency-neutral basis, BD Medical revenues of $4.234 billion increased 3.3 percent over the prior-year period, including an estimated 170 basis point adverse impact from the change in the U.S. dispensing business model.

In the BD Life Sciences segment, as reported, worldwide revenues for the quarter were $1.098 billion, an increase of 11.8 percent over the prior-year period, or 7.3 percent on a currency-neutral basis.  Revenue growth reflects strong performance in the Diagnostic Systems and Biosciences units.  Growth in the Preanalytical Systems unit was negatively impacted by a production issue in one of its product lines which was resolved during the quarter.  BD Life Sciences' growth was aided by flu-related revenues in the Diagnostic Systems unit as a result of a stronger flu season in comparison to the prior year.

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2018, BD Life Sciences revenues were $2.143 billion as reported, an increase of 10.4 percent from the prior-year period, or an increase of 7.3 percent on a currency-neutral basis.

In the BD Interventional segment, as reported, worldwide revenues for the quarter were $0.952 billion.  On a comparable, currency-neutral basis, revenues grew 7.1 percent over the prior-year period.  The segment's results reflect strong performance in the Peripheral Intervention and Urology and Critical Care units and solid growth in the Surgery unit.

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2018, BD Interventional revenues were $1.135 billion as reported.  On a comparable, currency-neutral basis, BD Interventional revenues increased 4.9 percent.

Geographic Results
As reported, second quarter revenues in the U.S. of $2.325 billion increased 42.9 percent from the prior-year period.  On a comparable basis, U.S. revenues increased 4.0 percent over the prior-year period, including an estimated 150 basis point adverse impact from the change in the U.S. dispensing business model.  Within the BD Medical segment in the U.S., growth in the Medication Delivery Solutions, Diabetes Care and Pharmaceutical Systems units was partially offset by a decline in the Medication Management Solutions unit.  Performance in the Medication Management Solutions unit reflects the adverse impact of the change in the U.S. dispensing business model.  BD Life Sciences segment results in the U.S. reflect strength in the Diagnostic Systems and Biosciences units.  Revenues in the Preanalytical Systems unit were negatively impacted by the aforementioned production issue in one of its product lines.  BD Life Sciences' growth in the U.S. was aided by the aforementioned flu-related revenues in the Diagnostic Systems unit as a result of a stronger flu season in comparison to the prior year.  Growth in the BD Interventional segment in the U.S. was driven by performance across the Peripheral Intervention, Urology and Critical Care and Surgery units.

As reported, revenues outside of the U.S. of $1.898 billion increased 41.4 percent from the prior-year period.  On a comparable, currency-neutral basis, revenues outside of the U.S. grew 7.9 percent over the prior-year period.  International revenue growth reflects strong performance across the BD Medical, BD Life Sciences and BD Interventional segments.

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2018, U.S. revenues were $3.982 billion as reported, an increase of 22.3 percent over the prior-year period.  On a comparable basis, U.S. revenues grew 2.6 percent over the prior-year period, including an estimated 220 basis point adverse impact from the change in the U.S. dispensing business model.  As reported, revenues outside of the U.S. of $3.321 billion grew 26.0 percent over the prior-year period.  On a comparable, currency-neutral basis, revenues outside the U.S. grew 7.5 percent over the prior-year period.

Fiscal 2018 Outlook for Full Year
The company now expects full fiscal year 2018 revenues to increase approximately 31.0 to 31.5 percent on a reported basis.  This is an improvement from previously issued guidance of 30.0 to 31.0 percent growth.  On a comparable, currency-neutral basis, the company is raising its revenue guidance to 5.0 to 5.5 percent growth, which is the high end of its previous guidance range.  This includes an estimated 50 basis point adverse impact from the change in the U.S. dispensing business model and the estimated sales impact from Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico on Bard's business during BD's first fiscal quarter.

The company is raising its full fiscal year 2018 adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance to be between $10.90 and $11.05 due to an increase in the estimated benefit from foreign currency.  This represents growth of approximately 15.0 to 16.5 percent over fiscal 2017 adjusted diluted earnings per share, and is an increase from previous guidance of $10.85 to $11.00 which represented growth of approximately 15.0 to 16.0 percent.  On a currency-neutral basis, the company continues to expect full fiscal year adjusted diluted earnings per share growth of approximately 12.0 percent.

Estimated adjusted diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2018 excludes potential charges or gains that may be recorded during the fiscal year, such as, among other things, the non-cash amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related charges, and certain tax and litigation matters.  BD does not attempt to provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP earnings guidance to the comparable GAAP measure because the impact and timing of these potential charges or gains is inherently uncertain and difficult to predict and is unavailable without unreasonable efforts.  In addition, the Company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors.  Such items could have a substantial impact on GAAP measures of BD's financial performance.

Conference Call Information
A conference call regarding BD's second quarter results will be broadcast live on BD's website, www.bd.com/investors, along with related slides, at 8:00 a.m. (ET) Thursday, May 3, 2018.  The conference call will be available for replay on BD's website, www.bd.com/investors, or at 1-800-585-8367 (domestic) and 1-404-537-3406 (international) through the close of business on Thursday, May 10, 2018, confirmation number 2857189.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures/Financial Tables
This news release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures.  Reconciliations of these and other non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures are included in the attached financial tables.  Within the attached financial tables presented, certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers.  Percentages and earnings per share amounts presented are calculated from the underlying amounts.

All "comparable" basis revenue growth rates relating to fiscal year 2018 presented throughout this release include the results of C. R. Bard, Inc. ("Bard") in the current and prior-year periods and are further adjusted for certain items as detailed in the attached tables. Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company's organizational structure was based upon three principal business segments: BD Medical ("Medical"), BD Life Sciences ("Life Sciences") and BD Interventional ("Interventional"). The Interventional segment was added upon the Company's completion of its acquisition of Bard, and this new segment includes the majority of Bard's product offerings and certain product offerings which were previously reported in the Medical segment.  Certain of Bard's product offerings are included under the Company's Medical segment, specifically within the new Medication Delivery Solutions unit, which was formerly the Medical segment's Medication and Procedural Solutions unit.  Prior-year amounts have been revised to reflect the movement of certain product offerings which were previously reported in the Medical segment and which are now reported in the Interventional segment, as discussed above. Current and prior-year adjusted diluted earnings per share results exclude, among other things, the impact of purchase accounting adjustments (including the non-cash amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets); integration, restructuring and transaction costs; the reversal of a litigation reserve; and the loss on debt extinguishment. We also provide these measures on a currency-neutral basis after eliminating the effect of foreign currency translation, where applicable.  We calculate foreign currency-neutral percentages by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the prior period foreign currency exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to our current-period results.  Reconciliations of these amounts to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the tables at the end of this release.  As previously announced, comparable historical revenue schedules inclusive of Bard are available on the Investor page of BD's website, www.bd.com/investors, for BD's 2016 and 2017 fiscal years.  These schedules have been updated to include the first quarter of BD's fiscal year 2018.

(2)

(4)

Represents costs incurred as a result of hurricane-related damage to production facilities in Puerto Rico.

(5)

Represents losses recognized upon the extinguishment of certain long-term senior notes.

(6)

Represents the reversal of certain reserves related to an appellate court decision which, among other things, reversed an unfavorable antitrust judgment in the RTI case.

(7)

Represents the dilutive impact of the following:  BD shares issued in May 2017, in anticipation of the Bard acquisition; BD shares issued as consideration transferred to acquire Bard; and share equivalents associated with share-based plans that were excluded from the reported diluted shares outstanding calculation because the result would have been antidilutive. The adjusted diluted average shares outstanding (in thousands) was 246,179.

(8)

Includes additional tax expense, net, of $275 million relating to new U.S. tax legislation. An estimated one-time transition tax payable of $561 million, payable over an eight year period with 8% due in each of the first five years, was offset by a tax benefit of $285 million related to the remeasurement of deferred tax balances due to the lower corporate tax rate at which they are expected to reverse in the future.
